How Much Does A New Gas Connection Cost?

5th April 2013 written by Richard Hearne in the category Gas Articles

There are many factors that affect the cost of a new gas connection. They include, but are not limited to:

 

  • Location
  • Size of gas supply required
  • Number of appliances at site
  • Pressure in the gas mains
  • Distance from the mains to the gas meter position
  • Complexity of the works
  • Health and safety issues
  • Number of engineers required, and more

Example of costing

Below are costing estimates for a domestic and non-domestic setting:

 

  • A typical domestic gas supply of less than 40 metres would be around £300-1000 excluding VAT. This cost is normally heavily subsidised based on certain criteria.
  • A non-domestic / commercial / business gas connection of around 10-15 metres could be priced around £1500-£2500 excluding VAT.

Please note that these prices are for guidance only and factors such as geographic region can affect costs on a site by site basis.

 

What could increase the cost?

Factors that could significantly increase the cost of a gas connection quote include large users of gas (perhaps 1000 kW (kilowatts) or more) and those sites where the mains are more than 100 metres away.

 

For sites located in busy city centres, two or three way traffic management systems are often required, which adds heavily to the cost.

Hi,

Can you give me a quote on connecting mains gas to a commercial property I have just leased. I have been given a crazy price which to me seems a lot. The property is based on mountfield road, new romney, Kent, TN28 8LH. We require a medium sized supplier as we manufacture clay roof tiles (firing 2 large kilns).

Best regards, Charlie Hope

Anitha says:

Hi,

I’m live in a 2 bedroom flat on the 2nd floor and it is all electric. I noticed gas pipes coming into my property and has a lever on it but not being used. National grid said supply is dead inside my flat but a meter box downstairs potentially can be used but suppliers need to check. My neighbours opposite door use all gas for heating etc. so there is a supply from the mainline to the building but not to my side of the flats (my 2 downstairs neighbours use all electric). Can you give me a quote please?

Thanks,
Anitha
